(A) For 3D accceleration, sax2 didn't handle that directly, you have to edit xorg.conf to activate it. Same goes for dual screen (xinerama mode).
(*) Special function keys work after patched the kernel.

Eee PC 1001PX

11.2

11.4

Remark

(*) Asus EPC 1001PX-BLK014X
(*) Special function keys :
6. Works after installing Compat wireless drivers (openSUSE-11.2 only)
9. Doesn't work with functional keys after boot but starts working after manually adjusting with power management
10, 11. Works but KNetworkManager gets disabled on resume if only wired connection was ON before suspend

(2) Works with the Open Source driver but works much better with SDB:ATI_drivers
(6) Needs third party driver ("rtl8192se-kmp-desktop", "rtl8192se-kmp-default", "rtl8192se-kmp-pae", "rtl8192se-kmp-xen" which can be found in driver:wireless repo. If you don't know which to choose, open a Terminal and type "uname -r". If it prints "2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop" you have to choose "rtl8192se-kmp-desktop". If it prints "2.6.37.6-0.5-pae" you have to choose "rtl8192se-kmp-pae", etc.Note: In Kernel 3.0 (desktop, not in default) a wireless driver is integrated but it still has many bugs. (See: [4])
(8) Not available on every Eee PC 1201T. Some vendors remove the Bluetooth chip.

Eee PC 1025CE

12.2

Remark

(9) The 1025CE is very new on october 20th 2012. Function keys did not work directly. I changed grub2 config and added these two parameters: "acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor". It made Fn+F5 and Fn+F6 change screen brightness.
(8,*) Bluetooth and the camera worked at first install.

12.2:
(*) Special function keys:
(8) HDMI is not part of this table, but works better than vga or tvout.

G50VG71V

11.1

11.2

Remark

(A)Using nVidia driver.
(4) Sound over HDMI seems to not work due to nVidia driver issues.
(*)Special function keys: some work, they could all with appropriate configuration, even touch-keys (except ROG key as there is no ROG app for Linux, but it's ACPI event works)
(*)Touchpad light (turns on only under Windows)
(*)OLED display: on 11.2

Tested G71V, both laptops equip the same hardware

K40AB

11.1

Remark

(A) Radeon HD 3200 autodetected and works with ATI driver, but for Radeon HD 4500 its not.
(6) Wi-fi works and autodetected in kernel 2.6.30.
(*) Special function keys:

(A) Intel integrated.
(*) Special function keys: only some keys work. To enable all function keys, possibly try acpi4asus, but must enable LED_CLASS and recompile kernel.

M68000NE

10.3

Remark

(A) ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 (standard free driver works fine).
(*) Special function keys: only some keys.
(*) It's important to choose kernel without local APIC during the setup process, in order to avoid a hang-up up problem when pressing Fn+F8.
(*) Battery is not detected, seems that a kernel patch is available to solve the problem, see Bug-8493.

M50vm

11.0

11.1

Remark

(*) Special function keys: only some keys.
(9) Monitor brightness requires some scripts in order to be correct and control the light sensor. Please check forums about this model.
(10) I use encryption, but this model does make Susp to ram and Susp to disk.

(A) Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller. Works out of the box, s-video out does not feed the television the correct screen resolution. Expected correct behavior would be to scale down the screen and LCD resolution together, which should be simple enough an xorg.conf tweak.
(10) Manually calling this works: /usr/sbin/s2ram -f -a 1.
(C) Suspend and resume works, but bluetooth stops working after resume.
